About Membership

Membership has played a central role in The Arc of Greensboro' success since the organization began as a grassroots movement in 1953. Those founding members were united in a common goal - working to increase opportunities for people with developmental disabilities. That mission continues to thrive in the advocacy, outreach, and support services The Arc contributes daily to our community.

Membership helps strengthen an organization known for pioneering innovative programs for those with special needs. As an Arc member, you become invested in this work and help make a positive difference for more than 11,000 people with developmental disabilities living in Greater Greensboro.
